Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte says that the FA Cup remains "a priority" for the Blues, despite upcoming fixtures with Barcelona and the two Manchester clubs.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has said that he remains fully focused on progressing in the FA Cup, despite a number of high-profile fixtures in the coming weeks.

The Blues host Hull City in the last-16 of the FA Cup on Friday, but the West Londoners are scheduled to face Barcelona, Manchester United and Manchester City in the 16 days after the encounter at Stamford Bridge.

Conte has acknowledged that his first-team squad face a "tough" programme, but the Italian says that he still wants to progress as far as possible in the FA Cup.

At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "We have in front of us two weeks of tough games. We've a programme to face these games in the right way. We want to try and go through to the next round.

"Every competition is a priority. We tried to do the same in the Carabao Cup and we reached the semi-finals. There are three priorities for the rest of the season."

Chelsea have already played this week, with a 3-0 win coming against West Bromwich Albion in Monday evening's Premier League fixture.
